Gary McKinnon … decision to pull ad campaign which references hacker, who was able to stay in the UK despite extradition order, has been slammed for being ‘very small-minded’

Another version of the digital poster makes reference to hacker Gary McKinnon, who was able to remain in the UK despite an extradition order from the US thanks to the act.

Rejecting Network Rail’s reasons for pulling the campaign, Amnesty International director, Kate Allen, said: “We are very disappointed with Network Rail’s decision to pull these adverts at the eleventh hour.

“We simply don’t accept that basic human rights are ever a political issue.”
